March 6th-12th.ONLINE WORKSHOP Recipe Card Holder

WELCOME

I am very excited about our first ONLINE WORKSHOP. Together we will work together and make this cute RECIPE CARD HOLDER. You can use ANY 4 or 5 inch bear pattern you have. I personally used the LSHD, Little Scraps of Heaven Designs, Bear Rough Edge Pattern.

You do not have to make a recipe card holder. You can make this cute little chef bear to use in a layout, on a card, as a tag etc. Please leave a comment at the bottom and let me know if you like this kind of a workshop and if you are participating~ thank you

You'll need White, Black and Rusty Brown Cardstock.


Made by Corrine Paul
Bear Pattern Used: Little Scraps of Heaven Designs
Chef Uniform designed by Corrine Paul


Supplies Needed:
*6 inch Jumbo Clothespin
You do not need this to make the chef bear.
I bought this one at Hobby Lobby for $2.33.
*Small Hole Punch
*Basic Kit: Scissors, adhesive, cutting system, pencil, white marker, ink or chalk.


For small projects like this I cut my paper in smaller pieces.


I usually rub a pencil across the back of the pattern then transfer the pattern to my cardstock. I cut on the outside of the line to leave room to customize the fit of each piece.


I design a chef hat and shirt. I like my pieces to overlap for gluing purposes and to have room to customize a pattern.


I ink like other people chalk. I like the look of ink better than the look of chalk but either or both are fine. It's a personal preference.


I lay everything out before I start gluing. I cut the legs longer than need so I can fit it to the Jumbo Clothespin. Once I like what I have I start gluing. SOMETIMES I trace around my pattern before I glue so I have a template to follow.


I used a small oval hole punch to make the eyes and a tiny hole punch to make the white "twinkle" in his eyes.


Designing a Wooden Spoon


Wooden Spoon looks good~ LOL


Designing a Rolling Pin


Rolling Pin and Wooden Spoon look nice~


I was going to give him pink cheeks but decided he didn't need them


Double checking to make sure how he will fit on the Jumbo Clothespin


I want space at the bottom so the paper doesn't fray or wear down when sitting on a kitchen counter and used to hold recipes.


His hat looks too plain and so does his chef uniform. I will have to come up with something to make him look more like a chef.


Thinking~


I used my white marker to highlight his shoes and nose.


While I decide what to do to make him more interesting I go ahead and trace around him on my chipboard. I am going to attach the chipboard to the back to give some stability.


I added a strip of white between the legs to cover the chipboard color

That looks pretty good and I can trim where ever the chip board shows once it is attached.

Making sure I am attaching it right.

I attached it to the Jumbo Clothespin

Making sure it looks right before the glue dries.

He still looks really plain but NICE~

AH HA!! He needs a name tag and some buttons. I used a tiny hole punch for the buttons and I just hand cut a tiny name tag.

I could not decide how to give his chef hat some dimension so
I layered the top and I think it really did the job.

My Pattern:

I am hoping you can print this. They are both the same copy. One is in portrait and the other is in landscape. (I'm new at this, forgive me)

I am only including the chef uniform because I do not have permission to include any LSHD patterns for FREE.

HAVE FUN!
